A must do while at Xi’an! Huaqing Palace and Lishan

Today was a day filled with history, nature, and art. I began by exploring Huaqing Palace, a site steeped in the romantic legend of Emperor Xuanzong and Yang Guifei. The palace’s serene gardens and ancient hot springs provided a tranquil backdrop for a morning of discovery. Next, I took the Lishan Mountain cable car, which offered breathtaking views of the palace and surrounding landscape. The panoramic vistas from the top were truly unforgettable, blending history and nature seamlessly. The day culminated with a performance of “A Song of Everlasting Sorrow,” a captivating dance drama that brought the Tang Dynasty to life. The combination of these experiences made for a truly memorable day trip.#xian #thingstodo
